This paper examines the effect of U.S. food aid on conflict in recipient countries. To establish a causal
relationship, we exploit time variation in food aid caused by fluctuations in U.S. wheat production
together with cross-sectional variation in a country's tendency to receive any food aid from the United
States. Our estimates show that an increase in U.S. food aid increases the incidence, onset and duration
of civil conflicts in recipient countries. Our results suggest that the effects are larger for smaller scale
civil conflicts. No effect is found on interstate warfare.
